Patent number: 11107078Abstract: A computer system is configured to provide a payment card security application programming interface (API) for providing a payment card security score to a partner entity computer system. Responsive to receipt of user identification data for a card holder from the partner entity computer system via the API, the computer system retrieves payment card electronic funds transfer (EFT) transaction data records corresponding to the card holder, and determines a transaction type and security level associated for the user's transactions. The computer system generates, based on the determined security level for each of the transactions, a security score for the card holder. The partner entity computer system provides the user identification data for the card holder to the payment card security API responsive to receipt of an authorization request for a new transaction. The partner entity computer system may determine whether to approve or deny the new payment card EFT transaction based upon the security score.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2018Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Murugalakshmanan Mariappan, Joshua J.

Publication number: 20170076309Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for linking product offerings with social network content. One exemplary method includes verifying, by a computing device, via an application programming interface (API) associated with the social network, a social network action, by a consumer, for a product in a social network, and awarding a discount to the consumer for the product, when the social network action is verified, whereby the consumer is able to purchase the product for the price of the product less the awarded discount. Often, the social network action is a “like” of the product, whereby a social network content associated with the product is then disseminated to at least one follower of the consumer in the social network in response to the action.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2015Publication date: March 16, 2017Inventors: Joshua J. Baron, Timothy R. Zyk, Deborah J. Shell, Ellen C. Heitman, Joshua G. Monroe

Patent number: 9195820Abstract: A computer system for authenticating user access to at least one computer application of a plurality of computer applications is provided. The computer system includes a memory device and a processor. The computer system is programmed to identify a security level from a plurality of security levels for each computer application within the plurality of computer applications. The plurality of security levels include at least a first-tier security level and a second-tier security level. The second-tier security level requires additional authentication information as compared to the first-tier security level. The computer system is also programmed to create a user account for a user within the memory device with the first-tier security level, and to determine that the user account requires the second-tier security level, and prompt the user to enter the additional authentication information. The computer system is also programmed to promote the user account to the second-tier security level.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2013Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventors: John D. O'Neill, Eric Alger, Scott W. Anderson, Jr., Joshua J. Baron, Matthew R. Cahalin, Ryan T. Dunn, Richard D. d'Erizans, Gregg A. Hill, Matthew E. Hopkins, Justin T. Katen, Cynthia E. Pilling, James B.
